Question 1

is only eating fish good for my body?

Accepted Answer

No: You can not just eat fish and expect proper nutrition to support your bodies needs.

Question 2

is eating canned fish healthy or unhealthy ?

Accepted Answer

I would say it is: unhealthy due to the amount of salt/brine that is used as well as any spice/preservatives for packaging purposes.  You would have to convince me very well to eat canned tuna instead of fresh tuna, though I understand they are used for different purposes in cooking.  Any extra salt is detrimental to our blood vessels and promotes hypertension, stroke, and heart attacks.

Question 3

is eating tuna fish every other day bad for you?

Accepted Answer

It depends: Since you can not be pregnant, that issue is moot. But to lower mercury intake - choose chunk light in water. Research says a 150 lb person can safely eat a whole can every 3 days. Here's a good link: http://www.Thesweetbeet.Com/tuna-mercury/
you should be okay doing what you do. Enjoy a healthy balanced diet and life style.

Question 4

how many kinds of sicknesses can we get from eating fish?

Accepted Answer

Many!: Depends on source of fish and type of fish: can include heavy metal poisoning, parasites, bacteria, viruses and toxins, and specific venoms which some fish like blowfish make.  Raw fish is really risky.  Wild pink salmon should not be eaten raw .

Question 5

is there any science to avoiding eating fish and dairy together?

Accepted Answer

: Only if you are allergic or intolerant to the food. People with lactase deficiency should avoid dairy. Unless you are allergic to it, there is no reason to avoid fish. It is useful to check the mercury in the type of fish you have in mind. Visit this site for info: https://www.fda.gov/food/consumers/advice-about-eating-fish

Question 7

is eating fish skin good for you?

Accepted Answer

Fish eating: Eating fish is just part of a well balanced det which is good for your skin. There is no scientific evidence that fish is better than any other food such as chicken.

Question 8

does eating fish make you lose memory?

Accepted Answer

Fish and Memory: If eating fish is decreasing your memory, I would be very concerned about possible mercury heavy metal toxicity.   I would recommend a provoked urine test for heavy metals.

Question 9

does eating fish help prevent disease?

Accepted Answer

Potentially: Omega 3 fatty acids in certain fish can be very healthful - but this must be weighed with potential mercury intake with those fish.

Question 10

can you lose weight just by eating baked fish everyday?

Accepted Answer

You need to be: Very watchful of mercury intake when eating fish. Depending on type of fish, this might be more than is healthy.
